Cortex N1 erratum 1946160 is a Cat B erratum present in r0p0, r1p0,
r2p0, r3p0, r3p1, r4p0, and r4p1. The workaround is to insert a DMB ST
before acquire atomic instructions without release semantics. This
issue is present starting from r0p0 but this workaround applies to
revisions r3p0, r3p1, r4p0, and r4p1, for previous revisions there is no
workaround.

Neoverse N1 erratum 1868343 is a Cat B erratum, present in older
revisions of the Neoverse N1 processor core. The workaround is to
set a bit in the CPUACTLR_EL1 system register, which delays instruction
fetch after branch misprediction. This workaround will have a small
impact on performance.

The DSU contains system control registers in the SCU and L3 logic to
control the functionality of the cluster. If "DIRECT CONNECT" L3
memory system variant is used, there won't be any L3 cache,
snoop filter, and SCU logic present hence no system control register
will be present. Hence check SCU presence before accessing DSU register
for DSU_936184 errata.

Even though ERET always causes a jump to another address, aarch64 CPUs
speculatively execute following instructions as if the ERET
instruction was not a jump instruction.
The speculative execution does not cross privilege-levels (to the jump
target as one would expect), but it continues on the kernel privilege
level as if the ERET instruction did not change the control flow -
thus execution anything that is accidentally linked after the ERET
instruction. Later, the results of this speculative execution are
always architecturally discarded, however they can leak data using
microarchitectural side channels. This speculative execution is very
reliable (seems to be unconditional) and it manages to complete even
relatively performance-heavy operations (e.g. multiple dependent
fetches from uncached memory).
This was fixed in Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Optee OS:

Coherent I-cache is causing a prefetch violation where when the core
executes an instruction that has recently been modified, the core might
fetch a stale instruction which violates the ordering of instruction
fetches.
The workaround includes an instruction sequence to implementation
defined registers to trap all EL0 IC IVAU instructions to EL3 and a trap
handler to execute a TLB inner-shareable invalidation to an arbitrary
address followed by a DSB.

Some cores support only AArch64 mode. In those cores, only a limited
subset of the AArch32 system registers are implemented. Hence, if TF-A
is supposed to run on AArch64-only cores, it must be compiled with
CTX_INCLUDE_AARCH32_REGS=0.
Currently, the default settings for compiling TF-A are with the AArch32
system registers included. So, if we compile TF-A the default way and
attempt to run it on an AArch64-only core, we only get a runtime panic.
Now a compile-time check has been added to ensure that this flag has the
appropriate value when AArch64-only cores are included in the build.

This patch fixes this issue:
https://github.com/ARM-software/tf-issues/issues/660
The introduced changes are the following:
1) Some cores implement cache coherency maintenance operation on the
hardware level. For those cores, such as - but not only - the DynamIQ
cores, it is mandatory that TF-A is compiled with the
HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag. If not, the core behaviour at runtime is
unpredictable. To prevent this, compile time checks have been added and
compilation errors are generated, if needed.
2) To enable this change for FVP, a logical separation has been done for
the core libraries. A system cannot contain cores of both groups, i.e.
cores that manage coherency on hardware and cores that don't do it. As
such, depending on the HW_ASSISTED_COHERENCY flag, FVP includes the
libraries only of the relevant cores.
3) The neoverse_e1.S file has been added to the FVP sources.
